Collector and stations
Dust in Moon Sweepers is sold at the four stations: at any station's deposit intake from your tool, or on belts that run to a station's intakes, where the dust sells itself. The Collector is the building with the supply wall, the launcher and the Collector intake for belts.

Which is which
| Name | What it is |
|---|---|
| Station | There are four: North (where you start), East, West and South. The compass marks them as DUST STATION. Waypoints and teleporting |
| Deposit intake | At any station: hold the key to fill its tray with the dust from your tool, then press its button to sell it by the kilogram. |
| Station intakes for belts | Belts run to a station's intakes; what arrives is sold by itself. |
| Collector | The building with the supply wall, the launcher and the Collector intake for belts. |
| Supply wall | In the Collector: sells the tools and suit gear. Cleaning tools |
| Upgrade hologram | Behind each station's service table: the upgrade matrix. Upgrade matrix |
| Collector pad | The garage's unloading pad: a vehicle stopped on it empties its hopper into the garage silo. Not a selling point. Garage |
| Depot | The word Steam's achievement texts use for a station; the game's own texts say station. |
How dust is paid
| Way in | When it is paid |
|---|---|
| Deposit intake tray | When its button is pressed. |
| Belt into a station's intakes | As it arrives: the station launches what it holds at once. Conveyor belt |
| Capsule catcher with no belt on its output | The dust goes to the station at once and is paid with the next launch. With a belt it leaves as 1 kg capsules. Capsule catcher |
| Pay | $1 per kg times the material's value (sand 3x, moon stone 7x) times the crew's payout multiplier, into the crew's one wallet. Selling and income |
| Deposit time | Rapid Transfer (-25% deposit time / -44% deposit time / -58% deposit time) and Express Dock (-50% deposit time) shorten deposits. |
